[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8701839, member: 50987"] By now, most of us have seen [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiMinixSXII&t=1s'][B]the trailer for "Honor Among Thieves,"[/B][/URL] the new D&D movie. In this trailer, the tiefling druid Doric (played by Sophia Lillis) uses the Wild Shape ability to transform into a friggin' owlbear! (It's at the 1:11 mark, in case you wanna see it again.) The Internet being what it is, people immediately took this idea and ran a dozen different directions with it. Druids aren't allowed to transform into owlbears, you see, at least according to the rules as-written. It's apparent that the filmmakers took some creative license with the rules. But that didn't stop thousands of geeks, myself included, from gushing about how it could be done in their home games. Some folks would create a whole new druid subclass, others would just make a simple change to the wildshape rules. A few others have suggested changing the owlbear itself. So how would [B]you[/B] do it, for [B]your [/B]gaming group? There are no wrong answers. [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]EDIT: Ah crud. In the poll options, I typed "to allow all Beasts" in a couple of options, when I should have typed "allow all Monstrosities." Sorry about that; change your votes if necessary.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
